Not very

Not a big fan of the glorified go-carts at Indy. I like her attitude, but I already have drivers I follow.

From another SBN blog...
Not only will Patrick be only one driver among the 43 who will start Saturday’s race, she won’t even be the only female making her Nationwide Series debut — that is if Chrissy Wallace can put up a lap during Friday’s qualifying session to get herself into the show. If Wallace can get into Saturday’s DRIVE4COPD 300, she and her father Mike Wallace will make series history by becoming the first father/daughter tandem to compete against each other in Nationwide Series competition. The father/daughter duo has already laid claim to that very same milestone in Camping World Truck Series competition.

yep

school is open tomorrow but classes are canceled. Which means I can work in the darkroom finally. I’ve had such a backlog of work that I haven’t been able to do because the buildings are closed.

that using ducks would make the NBA all star game better television.

I’m just bummed I’ll miss Daytona, since I have to drive to Columbia for a memorial service.

OK, gotta a question

Photobucket won’t let me store the remade Youkilis “works on a ship” graphic.

So, where can I store an image with bad words on it?

this is a little more involved than you're looking for

but check out dropbox.com. I use the public folder feature to post images here, but it does a lot of other awesome things as well

Its one of the best web services i've ever discovered

2GB of free online storage that backs up and auto-syncs everything you keep in a certain folder across multiple computers and a web client. shared folders, version tracking, delta encoding, etc.

I keep all my class notes theres so i never have to worry about losing anything or having to carry around a flash drive if i need to use a computer at school or something.
